About this Blog

This Blog is a collection of excerpts from talks given by Sri Swami Vishwananda. Please note that this Blog does not focus on dates, background and the exact original way of how Swamiji delivered the speech. We edit the talks slightly, presenting them in a kind of “poetic” format. This means we choose certain paragraphs from a talk which reflect a particular theme. Read them as pieces of Divine Wisdom, meditate upon the words and just feel how Swamiji is addressing you with His words.

On this beautiful day Sri Swami Vishwananda tells you: To be good in meditation, to be good on your spiritual path, you have to be disciplined. But, it’s not a pressure, it’s not forcing. It has to come from deep within your heart; it has to be out of love.

The same, if a child wants something, the child will do anything to get it. In the same way, when Jesus talked about how to enter the kingdom of God one has to be like a child who wants it very badly, and who is screaming to the Father, “God give me realization. God reveal Yourself to me. Reveal my purpose of me being here on Earth.” Often we start in this way, but then we loose hope. Many people start, but in the middle, they loose hope and give up. But, of course, it is they themselves that stop the realization, not God.

Love is a word that for centuries has been used and misused. In the name of Love, and in the name of God many bad things have happened. But it’s up to each one you to rectify and to reflect what Love really is. To reflect that you truly are part of God. It’s not just a word, it’s not just a sound, it’s also something we can see with our eyes. You’re the child of God? Then prove that your the child of God. Show that you’re the child of God. Have this deep determination of realizing God. Have this deep desire to realize who you really are. And you will have it.

Let Love be the most important thing in your life. Let God be the most important thing in your life. Because in Him there is everything. Whatever you desire is in Him, in your true Self. Otherwise you will always have things that are limited; and these things will always make you unhappy. Try for real happiness, and really become the Satchitananda that God has created in each one of you. If you really want that, you will have it. It doesn’t matter how long it takes. It can also happen right now. If you are 100 percent sure of yourself everything will be given to you.
